Longmont, Colo.: The Longmont Economic Development Partnership (Longmont EDP), in partnership with the Longmont Downtown Development Authority (LDDA), awarded 300 Suns Brewing a $9,268 grant as part of the Longmont EDP matching retail grant program.
“We feel so fortunate to have the extra boost that this grant funding gives us to help us prosper as a business in the Downtown District and the City of Longmont. We’re excited to be in an excellent position with new indoor and outdoor space to handle the expanding residential boom soon to come to south downtown,” said Dan Ditslear (Brewer), Owner and Director of Hoppiness at 300 Suns Brewing.
“Expanding or renovating your business is a daunting undertaking, especially for small businesses. With these grants, we were able to pay for some of the expensive infrastructure changes, freeing us up to create a beautiful, comfy new party room – the Other 65 Party Room – and expand our outdoor seating and curb appeal,” said Jean Ditslear, Owner and Director of Happiness at 300 Suns Brewing.
